Neurons are generally considered to communicate information by increasing or decreasing
their firing rate. However, in principle, they could in addition convey messages by using …

The compartmentalization of the cerebellum into modules is often used to discuss its
function. What, exactly, can be considered a module, how do they operate, can they be …

A persistent change in neuronal activity after brief stimuli is a common feature of many
neuronal microcircuits. This persistent activity can be sustained by ongoing reverberant …

The hypothesis of cerebellar learning proposes that complex spikes in Purkinje cells engage
mechanisms of plasticity in the cerebellar cortex; in turn, changes in the cerebellum depress …

We report in situ measurements of density fluctuations in a quasi-one-dimensional Rb 87
Bose gas at thermal equilibrium in an elongated harmonic trap. We observe an excess of …

Spillover of glutamate under physiological conditions has only been established as an
adjunct to conventional synaptic transmission. Here we describe a pure spillover connection …

Inferior olive neurons regulate plasticity and timing in the cerebellar cortex via the climbing
fiber pathway, but direct characterization of the output of this nucleus has remained elusive …

Activation of the climbing fiber input powerfully excites cerebellar Purkinje cells via hundreds
of widespread dendritic synapses, triggering dendritic spikes as well as a characteristic high …

For many decades, the predominant view in the cerebellar field has been that the
olivocerebellar system's primary function is to induce plasticity in the cerebellar cortex …

The persistence of many contrasting notions of climbing fiber function after years of
investigation testifies that the issue of climbing fiber contributions to cerebellar transactions …
